L. Carroll. Dated December 6, 1913. FltED IlECKMANN, Commisioner of Public Lands and Buildings How a Book Came to Be Written By DORA L. MULFORD One summer a young man whoso appearance smacked of the "plains" stopped at a hotel In tho White nioun talus and. tbo regular mcul3 of tho day being over, called for a supper to be cooked for him. When it was ready ho was called and ushered Into tho dining room, which was deserted ex ceptor himself and the waitress who attended upon him. Before ho began to eat ho noticed that sho was comely. Having served him with what ho need ed, she was about to 1euvo tho room when ho said to her: "Suppose l need you after you have gone. What shall I do?" There was no bell at hnnd to calf her. and she took tho mnn's question' for nn order to remain. ie was evi dently not pleased nt his action and. taking n position near him. stood first on one foot, then on the other, looking: pnrt of the time at tho celling, tho oth er part at tho floor. "I'm sorry to keep you." Irc said. "It doesn't matter, sir. It's my place to wait on you." Tho young man was sorry for what he had done. Ho would rather not have been served than havo somo one looking Idly on when ho ato.jp, Never theless there was something In the girl's appearance that interested him. Ho had heard of college students be coming waiters or waitresses, nt hotels in vacation, and he fancied sho might bo one of this class. "You're no waitress," he hazarded. "No waitress! What do you mean, sir?" "You're n lady." "A lndy." Sho colored and showed embarrass ment Ho fancied that ho had struck the nail on the head. ( Becoming bold w 1th his first success, ho pushed on: "I've met you in society." "Met mo in society! Where?" The young man chuckled. Tho ques tion "Where?" wns n dead giveaway. Had sho not been "in society" she would not have asked such a question. But he did not reply to it "I havo been looking for ypu," he went on, "ever since a ccrtainxball at which 1 met you. I danced with you twice? "during the evening, and you do not remember me." Tho scamp looked very much cut up at her failure to recollect him. "Was it in New York?" she asked. Another giveaway. She had been in "society in New York. Many func tions took place nt S.'s. on Fifth ave nue, . O'Wcre you not at a certain dinner followed by a cotillion given by a cer tain lady of fashion one night" Ho figured to bo trying to recall the date. "Last winter, just before Lent?" He broke into a laugh. "What amuses you?" sho asked, frowning. "1 am very much pleased with my self." "Indeed! On what account?" "My perceptive faculties. I knew you for a lady even in tho garb of a wnitreas. I accused you. and you con fessed. I hnvo never met you before. All that I havo said to you has been made up of whole cloth." The girl now broke into n laugh. "What amuses you?" asked tho man. with a fork midway between his plato and his mouth. "My stupidity." "Your fctupldity? What do you mean?" "Rather. I should say confidence. You were right in saying that wo met at S.'s. and tho dato I gave you is cor rect I was your partner in tho cotil lion. You told mo you would never forgot me. And now you tell mo that we havo never met before. For shame, Mr. Kennerton!" 'Kennerton, by Jove!" "Will you deny your identity?" "No, but you! You aro I havo it you are Miss Effingham.1 "I am." "But what nro you doing ns a wait ress in this hotel?" "What aro you doing in ths western costume?" , , "I've been traveling 'in tho wqst (tudying life. To study llfo ono must llvonmong tho class Htudicd." "So you told mo when I met you in Now York. You were very enthusiastic I, being a society girl, tired of tho shal low llfo I led, resolved to study life too. I hnvo learned a lot here more about tho class into which I -was born than tho class into which I was not born." "And I havo Just served a threa months' term as a cowboy. But I've had enough of it I'm going to bo a gentleman again." "So am I tired of being a waitress, I'm going to bo n lady onco more." "When? Whore?" "I leavo for New Yok tomorrow morning." "So do I." "I'm going to wjlto a book about my experiences as a waitress in n sum mer hotel." "And I'm going to wrlto a book about my experiences ns a cowboy." "Wonder if we couldn't mako a novel out pf tho two." "I'm going to show up some snobs I hnvo met" "I have no ouo to show up, but I Will gladly collabdnito with you." And ho did.
